Clutterbuck, 37, spent his last 11 seasons with the Islanders before sitting out the 2024-25 season.
"Hockey gave me everything -- a purpose, a brotherhood, and a lifetime of memories," Clutterbuck wrote on Instagram. "To (longtime linemates) Matt (Martin) and Casey (Cizikas) -- it was an honor to go to war with you night in and night out. What we built together means more than words can say. And to the Islanders faithful -- your passion, loyalty, and love made Long Island home. Thank you all. On to the next chapter."
Congratulations on your career, Cal. ??
